Chapter 579
Previously, Muchen had wanted her to get pregnant, so he could send her home.
But she didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay here and be with him.
With Muchen's current state, there was no way she could leave him and go home by herself, even if she missed Zixi badly.
Ziyue had just finished her call with Zixi when a servant walked in. "Mrs. Qin, Dr. Mo is here."
Is Xiyi here?
As soon as Ziyue stood up, Xiyi walked in.
He was in a crisp suit, and he didn't have a medical kit with him. He walked over and greeted her respectfully, "Mrs. Qin."
"Dr. Mo, why are you here? They're at the office," Ziyue said as she directed the servant to serve tea.
"I came to look for you, Mrs. Qin." He had deliberately avoided Muchen and was here to look for Ziyue.
Upon hearing it, Ziyue was slightly startled.
Xiyi must have come to look for her because of Muchen.
Her gaze dimmed a little.
She leaned back and smiled weakly. "Say what you came to say."
"Mr. Qin came to the laboratory to look for me last night," Xiyi said. He waited for Ziyue's reaction.
Ziyue was slightly astonished. He went out and returned in the middle of the night because he had looked for Xiyi.
"Mr. Qin has a certain understanding of his condition but isn't aware if his actions are right or wrong. He's doing things at will, and he's doing whatever he wants. His judgment is based on what he's feeling…"
Ziyue had experienced what Xiyi had said about Muchen.
His recent behavior had been like that. He felt that only he was right and ignored other opinions.
Ziyue nodded. She raised her head and asked, "What can I do?"
Xiyi must have something else to say since he made the trip.
"You…" It seemed like Xiyi found it hard to say something. He adjusted his glasses and said uneasily, "Try your best to play along with him and obey him. It will help him if he's feeling better."
Xiyi emphasized the word 'obey.' Ziyue was stunned and realized that there was a deeper meaning to what he said.
She smiled uncomfortably. "Am I not obedient enough? He doesn't allow me to leave, so I've been staying at home dutifully without making a fuss. How else should I obey him?"
She raised her voice a little, and there were traces of anger.
When Xiyi walked in, he realized more bodyguards were at the entrance.
It had been unsafe recently, so he hadn't paid much attention to them.
But after what Ziyue said, he suddenly understood something.
Muchen's actions were a little excessive.
Xiyi quietened. It was as though he didn't know what else to say. After a moment, he adjusted his glasses and seemed to be pondering.
"Thank you for making the trip, Dr.Mo. I understand everything you've said. I also want to apologize. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you." An apologetic expression appeared on Ziyue's face. She shouldn't have vented on Xiyi.
After seeing Xiyi off, Ziyue sat in the lounge momentarily before she suddenly got up and went to the kitchen.
"Mrs. Qin."
The servants stopped what they were doing when they saw Ziyue enter. They greeted her in unison.
Ziyue suddenly recalled when the two had just gotten to know each other. It was a time when they lived together in Yunzhou City.
It was only the two of them.
At the time, the two guessed each other's thoughts and secretly made an effort for each other… Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When she thought about it now, those were simple yet happy days.
Ziyue looked down so no one could see the pain in her eyes.
"You may leave. I'm going to make lunch for Mr. Qin."
Xiyi said to obey Muchen so he would be happier. It would help his current condition when he was in a better mood.
It was one of the reasons for her to make lunch.
Another reason was that she couldn't find any better excuse. She wanted Muchen's permission to leave without getting into any conflict.
She wanted to know if Shichu was still alive.
If he were still alive, she would be relieved.
Once Ziyue was done cooking, she went to the living room to call Muchen.
As expected, Muchen answered the phone quickly.
"Is something wrong?" There was the soft sound of pages ruffling from the other end of the phone. Other than that, it was silent. There was no additional background noise.
His voice sounded the same as before.
Ziyue's hand around the receiver tightened, and she continued. "Can I deliver food to you at noon?"
"There's no need. At noon…"
Upon hearing Muchen turn her down, Ziyue immediately continued. "I made food for you. It's been a long time since I've cooked for you…"
The man on the other end of the phone was silent momentarily as if distinguishing the truth in what she said.
After a long time, he said, "Why did you suddenly cook for me?"
"You applied lotion for me last night… I… want to thank you." Ziyue wanted to bite her tongue as soon as the words left her mouth.
What nonsense am I saying?
It was an awkward excuse, and she was ashamed.
But she never thought that Muchen would believe her.
After a brief silence, he said, "I'll get the driver to pick you up."
When the call ended, Ziyue's heart beat furiously.
She had been very nervous.
It was like back then when she asked him for something. She would be afraid that he would disagree.
The feeling was slightly indescribable.
…
Once Ziyue packed the lunch she had made, she left.
Muchen instructed his driver to send Ziyue to the office after receiving her call.
The driver was already waiting at the door when she left the villa. However, two bodyguards followed.
Ziyue couldn't be bothered to consider whether the bodyguards were there to protect or stop her from escaping.
There was no need to make such guesses.
She felt it was useless and tiring to think about such things at such a stage.
The car quickly stopped at the entrance of LK Group.
The receptionist was a shrewd girl from Country J. She smiled warmly. "Mrs. Qin."
Ziyue nodded slightly in response before walking into the elevator.
"Mrs. Qin, please wait for a moment. Mr. Qin is meeting a client in the reception area."
Muchen wasn't in his office. His secretary was the one to greet her.
"I understand. Thank you." Ziyue nodded slightly, indicating that she could leave.
The secretary said, "Please let me know if you need anything."
Once the secretary left, Ziyue got up and walked to the full-length window.
She stood there for a long time, but Muchen didn't return, so she decided to walk around.
As she walked around, she came near to the reception area.
The doors were open, and a group of people walked out.
A man and woman were at the front.
The man was obviously Muchen. After all, no one dared to walk ahead of him.
As for the woman…
